Well, first off, when I purchased the BurroPak, the E-Holster hadn't been released yet.
The E-Holster looks nicer, but I console myself with rationalizations to the effect that the BurroPak is much cheaper.
If I ever get a cell phone, I might splurge on an E-Holster.

I've been looking at the E&B Slipper case and the Rhodiana case. It looks to me like the Rhodiana case has two straps on the back which are meant to fit over your hand. Couldn't you just slip a shoelace or something through those straps and tie it around your neck? Then it wouldn't fall to the ground if you dropped it. Or maybe just fasten it around your wrist instead?

Could someone who has a Rhodiana case please comment?

Yes, that would work.
Also, the Rhodiana has a couple of slots in the base (for the bottom corners of the Visor) which could accomodate a cord of some kind.

An alternative I've come to love:

I found a cheap coat at Target ($20.00) that's sort of a cross between an overcoat and an Army fatigue top (part of the Cherokee collection -- don't laugh). It has large pockets, so I can put the phone in one and the Visor in another. The gadgets remain unseen, which cuts down on the geek factor a hundredfold. And I still have room for a couple of Springboards or a Stowaway keyboard. And the pockets have velcro flaps, so it's very secure -- no dropping.

Gameboy, I like your jacket idea since I work for Target.

If you really want to be geeky buy one of those photographer vests that seem to have an infinite number of oversize pockets. You could carry your Visor, keyboard and dozens of Springboard modules.

This might be what you're looking for:

Force Technologies ( www.force.com ) states on its home page that this product, The Bond, is available "for ALL Palm models, including the Palm V." While its presumably compatible with the Visor you may want to email the company to doublecheck.

If you can wear jeans to work, just buy "carpenter" jeans or else Cargo pants, both having pockets in the side of the pants, perfect for holding cell phones, Visors, Springboards, etc. It allows for easy carrying of gadgets without the geek factor, not that I mind looking like a geek!

Man, with all the school shootings and whatnots, the EHolster is something that I do *not* want to wear to school, expecially under a jacket of some sort 8-).

I've always worn my visor in my breast pocket of a tech vest. It works well as long as you keep the pocket zipped up 8-). Cargo pants are also a great idea, missing that if you have a backpack you can go to the Mil. surplus store, pick up a pouch for a first aid kit, and sew it to the backpack strap...

The slipper Visor case has two cutouts at the bottom of the case... that would allow for a cord of some sort... don't think you would be able to sync in the case though.

Another alternative is to just fold the cover closed over a cord. The slipper has provided room at the top of the case for the oversized (future) springboards... Couldn't use the cord while actively using the Visor, but it would serve when not in use

Yeah. I've e-mailed them, but have yet to hear from them. It looks to me like it won't work with the Visor without some modification. Think I'll try giving them a phone call . . .

For what it is worth, a friend of mine recently purchased both a BurroPak and a neoprene E-Holster. He sent the E-Holster back.
His main complaint was that the holster part was "too floppy". It required both hands to open and remove the unit.

I still haven't seen an E-Holster, so I cannot comment. I am still using my BurroPak, though.

Hey, thanks! I'd hit a link to their site long ago, but couldn't find it when I began to think along these lines - - so assumed that I was mistaken . . .

Depending on your clothing "style" Dickies makes a pair of utility jeans with a built in thigh pocket on the right leg. They advertise it for a cell phone but my Visor fits perfectly into it for easy access. I usually put it in my back pocket, but I have to be careful when I sit down. The pocket on the thigh keeps it out of the way and doesn't let it bounce around like cargo pants.
